⚽ More training doesn’t always mean more progress. Sometimes, the real difference is knowing when a young player needs to push on and when their body needs a break.🩺 We sit down with Hans Martin Bjorkevoll , a physiotherapist from Norway whose own experience with two ACL tears helped shape his interest in injury prevention.🏃♂️ We explore how sudden increases in training, growth spurts, poor recovery and the demands of school and everyday life can affect young athletes. We also discuss common issues like Osgood-Schlatter knee pain, why recurring pain shouldn’t simply be ignored, and why getting the right professional advice matters.🧠 Beyond the physical side, we look at how coaches and parents can better understand each child’s workload, the value of free play, and whether young footballers have enough room to enjoy different sports instead of repeating structured drills all the time.💬 Developing a player goes beyond improving their technique. What’s more important is helping them grow, stay healthy and enjoy the game for years to come.Give us a like and subscribe if you haven’t.
